Welcome to For Butter or For Worse!

Another food blog? Why?Well, there is one recipe I’ve looked for over the years, Ilion School’s Apple Crisp. I tried other apple crisp recipes over the years, but they weren’t quite right, or I wasn’t doing it quite right. Not sure. I’d all but given up on it. Then a couple weeks ago, I said, “Let’s Google!”

I use my KitchenAid Food Processor to do all the mixing, but a stand mixer or mixing by hand may work just as well. I am planning on using my KitchenAid Stand Mixer next time, and will update with the results. Hand mixing isn’t a possibility for me due to pain, but if you try mixing by hand I’d love to hear how it goes.

So far, I’ve only used Apple Pie Filling (with Splenda) in this recipe, but you can try fresh apples, of course.

Apple pie filling with Splenda?? But there’s 3 cups of brown sugar in the recipe!I have a feeling messing with the brown sugar in the recipe would result in a poor topping.However, the apple pie filling with Splenda cuts the filling’s carbs from 8g to 2g per serving. btw, Splenda Brown Sugar is only brown sugar and Splenda mixed together.

I only use real butter, and can not vouch for the use of margarine in this recipe.

I hope you’ll give the recipe a try! If you do, please let us know how it turns out.

Hi Tami. I would use an apple pie or baked apples recipe for creating the crisp with fresh apples.
I’ll be visiting the local apple orchard this fall. I’d love to hear what you end up doing with fresh apples for the filling.
